Republican National Convention
From Conservapedia
The Republican National Convention is a convention held to officially nominate the Republican candidates for President and Vice President. It will be held in Tampa, Florida, from August 27 to 30, 2012.
This convention is held every four years, in the summer before a presidential election. It lasts about 4 days on average, and features speeches from prominent Republicans or other conservatives.
The Republican National Convention also considers and approves the official platform for the Republican Party. Nearly all state Republican Party organizations typically adopt the national platform, and most Republican candidates campaign on the principles set forth in the party platform.
The 2000 convention was held in Philadelphia, PA. The 2004 Convention was held in New York City, New York, and the 2008 Convention was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
